Boyd van Hoeij Hollywood Reporter There are too few instances where all of the film's different elements come together to deliver any kind of visceral charge. Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Though it hardly wants for sincerity or ambition, Coixet's portrait of an arduous mid-career expedition by American explorer Josephine Peary is dramatically as pallid and lifeless as the frozen tundra on which it takes place. Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald The first half is all about getting into this position, where two women have to depend on each other. The second half is where the drama lives... but by then it's too late. Coixet has blown our goodwill. Rated: 2/5 Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Mark Adams Screen International While blessed with an impressive double act in the form of Juliette Binoche and Rinko Kikuchi it never quite settles on enough intensity to carry its almost two hour running time. Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Stefan Pape HeyUGuys Though evidently the point - to provoke a sense of disquiet and claustrophobia from the viewer to make for an immersive experience, conversely, it doesn't quite make for a very entertaining one, which has to count for something. Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Giovanni Marchini Camia The Film Stage Even more grinding than the plot's predictability, however, is the film's depiction of the Inuit people. Rated: C- Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member With an impressive cinematography that explores the isolation and vast whiteness of the Arctic, this is an engaging story centered on a cultural clash experienced by two very different characters who are forced to endure a terrifying glacial nightmare together.
